and actually underscores the
justifiable impatience with
which Negroes are insistently
demanding their full democratic
rights now."
The statement added that
Jews, as members of a group
which "from time immemorial
has known oppression and felt
the indignation of discrimina-
tion," understood the frustra-
tions "experienced by our
Negro fellow-citizens. We share
with them the determination
to eliminate the injustices
from which they suffer."
The 14 organizations declared
that the March for Jobs and
Freedom "will demonstrate the
deep commitment of a vast
majority of the American people
to the attainment of full equal-
ity" and that they therefore
"wholeheartedly endorse the
march as have the leading
Catholic and Protestant ag-
encies. We believe the march
to be in the great tradition of
peaceable assembly for the re-
dress of grievances, and there-
fore vigorously support local
affiliates throughout the nation
who desire to participate in this
historic event."
"The Jews have always been
part of the eternal quest for
human dignity and social jus-
tice for all mankind," the or-
ganizations declared. "Our de-
votion to this cause is rooted
deeply in our religious and
spiritual traditions and our
social experience. A most ap-
propriate means of expressing
our ideals today as Americans
and as Jews consists in joining

Washington Negroes
Reported Showing
`Tinge' of Anti-Semitism
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The
Washington Post, in a staff-
written survey of Negro atti-
tudes, reported that "emerging
for the first time among Wash-
ington Negroes, is a tinge of
anti-white and anti-Semitic
feeling." This feeling was de-
scribed as neither deep nor
widespread but representative
of "the Negro rebellion against
his status."
President James M. Nabrit,
Jr., of Howard University (a
Negro institution) said that "in
the Negro's gyrations at the
moment, he is just attacking
everybody. But if we're going
to embrace racial discrimination
against anybody, we're lost."
The conclusion of the Washing-
ton Post was that "in the pres-
ent situation, the Washington
Negro can be expected to be
oversensitive. He will see racial
discrimination in instances
where none exists — much as
some American Jews of a gen-
eration ago, fighting anti-Semi-
tism, saw it everywhere."
ROCKWELL THREATENS
Federal and local law en-
forcement officers here have

Party who attempts to disturb

march "for jobs and freedom,"
August 28. Photographs of

against known followers of

Rockwell predicted that 10,-
000 of his sympathizers
would be with him on the
grounds of the Washington
Monument here to protest the
march. He said he expects to
be arrested that day since he
has been denied a parade per
mit by the National Park
Service, which has charge of
the grounds. He said the ar-
rest would occur "when I'm
told to move along and I re-
fuse to budge." Washington's
chief of police, Robert V.
Murray, said his men "will be
be able to handle" Rockwell.
Rockwell also reported that
he had distributed 100,000
copies of an anti-Negro pam-
phlet among white people, main-
ly in Southern cities. In it he
warns that on Aug. 28 the Ne-
gro "revolutionnists will open-
ly threaten to plunge their final
dagger into the beating heart
of our republic."

STARLIGHT, Pa. — Teen-age
delegates to the Bnai Brith
Youth Organization's annual
conventions of Aleph Zadik
Aleph and Bnai Brith Girls
were told here Tuesday that the
Jewish heritage demands "Jews
be in the forefront of the cur-
rent civil rights struggle in
America."
Rabbi Stanley Rabinowitz, of
Washington, D.C., told the
more than 400 delegates attend-
ing the joint opening sessions
of AZA's 40th annual conven-
tion and Bnai Brith Girls' 19th
annual meeting that being
Jewish "means being sensitive
to the problems of others." He
said the plight of the American
Negro" is one of the most
pressing social problems of our
day." But he emphasized that
compassion for others is only
one aspect of Judaism's tradi-
tion. He condemned those who
`forsake another important as-
pect of being Jewish, the
struggle for the survival of our
people—on the pretext of being
too involved with fighting in-
justice. "Fighting injustice is
fine but those of us who live
in two cultures must be true
to the best of both. The time
has long since passed," Rabbi
Rabinowitz said, "when young
people have sought to find their
fulfillment by helping others
and evading their other respon-
sibilities as Jews or by mas-
querading their identity as
Jews."
